QUOTE 231

"A working brain is probably a lot like a map, where anybody can get from one place to another on the freeways. It's the nonworking brains that get blocked, that have dead ends, that are under construction like mine."


Craig, en It's kind of a funny story by Ned Vizzini

QUOTE 230

" "I'm just going to keep at it," I tell Dr. Minerva "That's all I can do. I'll keep at it and hope it gets better." "

It's kind of a funny story - Ned Vizzini

"ONE OF THOSE MUST READS"


Ambitious New York City teenager Craig Gilner is determined to succeed at life - which means getting into the right high school to get into the right job. But once Craig aces his way into Manhattan's Executive Pre-Professional High School, the pressure becomes unbearable. He stops eating and sleeping until, one night, he nearly kills himself.
Craig's suicidal episode gets him checked into a mental hospital, where his new neighbors include a transsexual sex addict, a girl who has scarred her own face with scissors, and the self-elected President Armelio. There, Craig is finally able to confront the sources of his anxiety.
Ned Vizzini, who himself spent time in a psychiatric hospital, has created a remarkably moving tale about the sometimes unexpected road to happiness.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I've always wanted to read this book, I mean, I've read about it, good reviews, average reviews,... but all regarding the same quote: 'YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK ASAP'. And it's true, you really need to read this, is fascinating.

Maybe It's because It talks about some close to my experience in life, o maybe it's because the simple beauty of the book and the writing style, but this book clarifies a lot of things to those who don't quite understand how mental illness work. I wish my dad could understand English, my life would be easier if he reads this book. But, anyway, mainly talks about depression, it doesn't actually talk about it, its just there, and it's like, a second character to the story, which is how it feels like in real life.
I'm amazed by this book, by everything, and I believe the author's personal experience is what makes this book unique and a Must Read.

In plot-line regarding matters, this isn't a fast-book-action kind of book, it's quite slow and rough on the edges. The beginning it's mostly narrative (all the book actually) but like in a description-of-how-it-feels way, and the second par it like what-i-can-i-do-with-it kind.
A part of this little thing I don't have anything inverse this book.
It's amazing, just read it.
